[QUOTE="Marble, post: 979651, member: 51354"] I get what you are saying. I will inspect the bottoms of the dies and go from there. I have sharpening stones in semi smooth and really smooth. I also thought maybe the few thousandths difference might be in the way the neck expander goes in and out. Just a thought. For the body area, every once in a while I take some my JW compound on a cleaning patch with my drill and polish the crap out of the inside. A thorough cleaning follows. Every once in a while I start to get marks on my brass and after I clean the die it goes away. Secondly, the gauge I use is the hornady concentricity gauge. It has a small screw with a pad on it that presses up against the cartridge if needs to be straightened. I've heard a few people say it's junk and a gimmick, but idk...I can put a cartridge in, see the "lack of straightness" as I see it, then bend it a few thousandths the opposite direction and it's straight.
